Heritage Hike set for April 22

Wednesday,March29th,2017

Ger Erickson points out features of the Marsh Creek State Park and its surrounding land from a hilltop venue during the 2016 Heritage Hike hosted by the Trust. This year’s hike will be held on April 22, stepping off at 8 a.m. and take about three hours.

John Marsh Historic Trust’s annual Heritage Hike, an opportunity to explore parts of the usually inaccessible Marsh Creek State Park in Brentwood, will include something not seen on previous treks. Thanks to the drought-busting rain, this year’s event will feature green grass and wildflowers, as well as the sweeping vistas, rock formations, and flora and fauna in the largest State Historic Park in California.
Hike leader Ger Erickson says the hike will be about 5 miles over moderate terrain, and also include some new locations. The $20 cost will support the Trust’s efforts to restore Marsh’s 161-year-old Stone House and to open the park. To reserve a spot, call 925-679-5811.
